Is High Quality Software Worth the Cost?
Martin Fowler
MAY 29, 2019
A common debate in software development projects is between spending time on improving the quality of the software versus concentrating on releasing more valuable features. Usually the pressure to deliver functionality dominates the discussion, leading many developers to complain that they don't have time to work on architecture and code quality. But the counter-intuitive reality is that internal software quality removes the cruft that slows down developing new features, thus decreasing the cost

Strangler Pattern: How to Deal With Legacy Code During the Container Revolution
OverOps
MAY 15, 2019
Editor’s Note: This post was originally published on April 26, 2018. It has since been updated to reflect advancements in the industry. When we say “technical debt”, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind?

Is it a codebase with poorly-written methods following convoluted logic and hard-to-follow patches for production issues?
Bliki: TechnicalDebt
Martin Fowler
MAY 21, 2019
Software systems are prone to the build up of cruft - deficiencies in internal quality that make it harder than it would ideally be to modify and extend the system further. Technical Debt is a metaphor, coined by Ward Cunningham, that frames how to think about dealing with this cruft, thinking of it like a financial debt. The extra effort that it takes to add new features is the interest paid on the debt.
